Grimstad, North Dakota - a place people used to be from, but were never headed to - has struck oil. But the new oil capital has a serious law and order problem and newly qualified detective Cassie Dewell has just been assigned as its deputy sheriff. 12-year-old Kyle is one of Grimstad's paperboys. Even though he has been written off as the 'slow' kid, he has dreams deeper than anyone can imagine - he wants to get out of town, take care of his alcoholic mother, and give them a better life. While delivering newspapers, he witnesses a car accident and now has money and a lot of white powder in his possession. With the temperature dropping to 30 below and a gang war heating up, Cassie fears she might be in over her head but the key to it all comes in the most unlikely form: an undersized boy on a bike who keeps showing up where he doesn't belong.
